To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDDIE P. TRUESDALE, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Camden, in the county of Kershaw and State ofSouth Carolina, have invented certain'new and useful Improvements inRazor Attachments, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to guards for razor blades, and the princi alobject of the sameis to provide a guar for the razor blade which permitsthe blade to be used without danger of cutting the user and in which theblade may be adjusted to present the cutting edge at the desired anglefor shaving.

In carrying out the objcctsot' the invention generally stated above itwill be understood, of course, that the essential features thereof arenecessarily susceptible of changes in details and structuralarrangements, one preferred and practical embodiment of which is shownin the accoi'npanying drawin wherein z-' i v re 1 is a perspective viewof a razor the b ade of which is equipped with the improved guard. Fig.2 is a detail perspective view of the guard. Fig. 3 is a transversesectional view taken on the line 33, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a similar viewtaken on the line M, Fig. l. The improved guard forming thesubjectmatter of this invention is especially adapted for use inconnection with the well known .to a handle.

'Referringto the accompanying drawings by numerals, it. will be secnthat the improved guard compriscs a flat plate '1 that forms a rest forthe blade 2' of a razor, said i'cst being slightly concavcd and havingan upstanding wall 3 at. one longitudinal edge that. is concavcd toprovide a holding and guiding groove for the back of the razor blade.The upper portion of said wall has the flanges 4 projecting therefrom,said flanges being resilient and adapted to yieldably engage the blade.A neck 5 projects laterally from the wall 3 between said flanges l, saidneck connecting with a plate is provided with comb teeth 8.

The structure as described is preferably an integral one and may beformed of steel or sheet metal. Said structure provides a rest for oneside of the blade, ripping flanges which yieldably bear upon the otherside of the blade to retain the same resting on the said plate and theback thereof is the grooved" wall 3, a plate 6 for shielding the upperside of the cutting edge of the blade,

.and the teeth 8 which project across the cut- I angle'to the surfacebeingv shaved. Ob-

vionsly, a reverse movement of the screw 10 removes the same trombinding contact with the blade, and the resiliency of the plate 6returns the comb teeth to their original positlon.

\Vhat I claim as my invention is A safety attachment for a razor bladeformed from spring metal comprising a longitudinal blade rest, a flangeformed upon one side of said rest. apair of end flanges formed upon theother side of saidrest and ada ted to clamp said blade between said si eflanges. a depending tongue formed between said pair of end flanges, alongitudinal plate formed at the lower end of said tongue, and providedwith a series of comb teeth, and a set screw passing through said tongueand contacting with the razor blade to adjust said late.

In testimony whereof Iliereunto aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
